Obituaries
Mrs. Mary T. Petree, nee Smith, wife of the late John Petree, was born 
December 7, 1815 in Lincoln county, N.C., and was married in same county to 
Mr. John Petree Nov. 11, 1832.  She died Sept. 10, 1885, preceeding her 
husband only five days.  She was almost 70 years old at the time of her 
death.  She was of a gentle, sweet, amiable disposition, kind to those of 
her own household and to her neighbor.  She professed saving faith in 
Christ, at a camp meeting in Spartanburg, S.C., Sept. 1839, and united with 
the Methodist church, and was a devoted member for 46 years.  Her great 
effort was to be a christian in all life's offices.  To be approved as a 
christian wife, mother, neighbor, friend, and a child of the heavenly Father 
was her great desire and aim.  She was sorely afflicted for almost a year 
before her death, but was never heard to complain.  She spoke of her 
readiness and willingness to depart, and when, after long suffering and 
patient waiting the Master came for her, she passed away sweetly and 
triumphantly, leaving many dear ones to grieve their loss.    ay they grant 
her dying request by meeting their mother and loved one in heaven!
